About Me

Hi! I'm an avid cross stitcher who loves to spend time with family, travel, read, watch movies and collect stamps. I live in Maryland but HATE seafood (so why am I here?) I'm married to a retired military man and am content to stay in one spot for a while after having moved 16 times in the past 25 years!

Friday Finish, and Note to Self...

Well.....I've been seriously foolish today! But isn't that what Friday the 13th is all about? LOL

It's a dark and stormy night...ok, not stormy, but it sure looks menacing all day...it has gotten dark, there's a scary show playing on the TV (I was just using it for background noise until my favorite show, Expedition Unknown, comes on) when suddenly, from the darkened downstairs of my house comes an eerie YYYOOOOOOOOWWWLLLLLLL. I have no idea why the cat is making such an awful sound, and now I'm too afraid to look. The boys are at a hockey game down in DC, and here I sit.....alone....Should I go and investigate? I don't have a golf club or baseball bat, they are all in the basement. Hm....I could use my 4" sharp embroidery scissors....but in all honesty would that do much damage to a Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees type? I think not....let me grab my expensive, heavy based Verilux stitching lamp instead. All the while, in my head, I'm screaming...it's when they go to investigate that bad things happen....lock the door...don't go!!!Oddly enough, the full moon was last night, and I got these out of focus but kinda cool shots!

Tonight it's pitch black outside...no moonlight and it seems all the houses in the neighborhood have their lights off. Just a few little streetlights are on here and there. Anybody out there want to come and keep me company? LOL!!Having the day to myself turned out to be pretty productive, as I've finished In the Land of the Free....here are a couple of shots and you can see all the embellishments there, they always seem to be so time consuming.

I actually made it down to the first floor without incident...and the cat is nowhere to be found, he must be catnapping somewhere, but I'm not about to prowl around looking for him....hahaha. Back to my stitching cave, and a Hallmark Movie with hopefully a happy ending! Enough scary stuff for me for a while! Happy Stitching everybody!! Oh, and in case you wondered....every light is on in this house!!! LOL!!
